I just got this DVD a few days ago, and I am in love with it. The DVD is NOT just for children; adults who are just beginning to learn to knit can benefit from it too. The children are adorable, and they make instructions clear (I was somewhat worried about this, but the children are GREAT) and much more entertaining and fun to watch than an adult could. The DVD also has a very lovely woman storyteller who tells stories that go along with the steps of knitting. These stories are memorable and help the beginner remember the order of each step. I highly recommend this DVD for both children and adults. You will have fun and will be knitting in no time at all. Enjoy!

My 6 year old learned how to knit about 6 months ago. She had lost interest a little bit because it "took too long" to finish a scarf. Since watching the very entertaining dvd, she has renewed interest and is knitting faster than before.
It covers cast on (long tail), knit stitch, purl stitch, picking up a dropped stitch and bind off.
The dvd is fun for the whole family to watch and is interactive. It teaches how to knit a ball, step by step, having you knit along and the dvd automatically pauses until you are done with the section and you press play.
It also shows how yarn is made from shearing to spinning yarn.
I highly recomend this dvd to everyone, regardless of age or knitting experience.

This DVD is really wonderful!
Little Ryan is an amazing knitter and an excellent teacher. I am a knitter and he actually showed me a way to cast on, I never tried before.
As I said, I knit, but am not the greatest teacher, so this DVD is a great way to teach the kids in my life how to knit.
The animated knitting fable is also great and once you learn, you can make the knitted ball project on the DVD.
Summer's coming, so it's a great time to give kids a fun activity to do.
You'll love this DVD!

Excellent!
I used this video to teach a group of 6th grade students to knit. The effect was instant. In two sessions I had 5 kids doing both knit and purl stitches. Read more

My girls like to watch this video, even if they are not trying to knit. It is quite instructional and strangely soothing.

Horrible DVD
Do not go with this instruction DVD my daughter hated it and it just didn't have the right information for a child to learn knitting.

Knitting made fun
This is a great video for children learning how to knit; good for adults too. Basic steps are easy to follow and the sections on how wool is made is great. Read more
